Speedy Q: Speed Networking from OutBritain & Series Q

In collaboration with our friends at OutBritain, Series Q invites you to join us at The Curtain Club.

From our conversations from Series Q attendees, we know that most people really value the new connections they make during our evening events. Indeed, one member told us: “I’ve never left a Series Q event without winning a piece of new business”

We want to facilitate more of these connections, so Speedy Q will be our first ever speed networking evening. If that thought fills you with terror – worry not! – we’ll kick off the evening with a short intro on how best to make introductions and to follow up with new connections. Welcome drinks will be provided, and we’ll follow the speed networking with informal drinks.

Timings

• 6:30pm – Arrival and welcome drink (no earlier than this please)
• 7:00pm – Welcome remarks
• 7:10pm – Activity (meet some new – and old – contacts!)
• 7:45pm to late – Drinks and tunes

Please note there will be no complimentary food, so be sure to have a bite before you arrive!

Who comes to Series Q?

Everyone is welcome, wherever you might sit within the startup world. You could be a founder, an investor, a startup employee, a future founder, a creator, or just someone with a passion for entrepreneurship… we really value the diversity and richness of our community, so please join whatever you do.

Allies are also warmly welcomed to this event.
